Frequently Asked Questions
The questions homeowners ask most. If yours is not answered here, call us or send the quote form and we will follow up the same business day.
General questions
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. North Texas Handyman is fully insured with general liability coverage and carries a Texas handyman registration. Proof of insurance is available on request.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Little Elm, Celina, The Colony, Richardson and Denton. If you are nearby and not on the list, call and we will confirm.
How do I get a quote?
Submit the quote form on our contact page or call (469) 555-0142. Most estimates are returned the same business day, and photos help us quote accurately.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates for standard repairs and installations are free. Complex or multi-day projects may require an on-site visit, which is also free within our service area.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, ACH transfer and checks. Payment is due on completion unless a deposit was agreed for materials.
Can you hide the cables behind the wall?
Yes. We offer in-wall power relocation and HDMI concealment so no cords are visible. This requires an outlet or power kit at the TV location and takes about 60 to 90 minutes per TV.
Will my ceiling support a new fan?
Most ceilings do once the electrical box is rated for a fan. If the existing box is a light-only box, we upgrade it to a fan-rated brace as part of the installation.
Can you repair just the damaged deck boards?
Absolutely. If the framing and posts are sound, we replace only the failed boards and tighten the railing, which keeps the cost down. We flag any structural rot we find.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most North Texas homes need cleaning twice a year: late spring after pollen and seed drop, and late fall after leaf fall. Homes under heavy tree cover may need a third visit.
How does the hourly honey-do rate work?
Honey-do visits are billed at 75 USD per hour with a two-hour minimum. You supply the list, we bring the tools and hardware, and you are billed only for time on site.
Service questions
Can you match my existing drywall texture?
Yes. We match common textures including orange peel, knockdown and light hand-trowel. We test the match in a hidden spot first so the repair blends in.
Do you help choose paint colors?
We can advise on sheen and durability for each room, but final color selection is yours. Many clients have us paint a test patch first so they can see it in their lighting.
